The Blume family traveled with SightLife to Africa to see firsthand the profound impact that cornea transplants have on the lives of those who are cornea blind. Their gift to SightLife to further this mission of restoring sight and eliminating cornea blindness is the largest-ever donation to global eye bank development. It is the catalyst in furthering SightLife's mission to help the world to see.
